A valid gateway
must be defined to the R6. If a the host computer is identified with a
name rather than an IP address, a valid DNS server on the network must be
identified to the R6, otherwise, the numeric IP address should be used.
Re-insert the LPE card in order for the latest configuration to be
recognized. Also, ping the R6 IP address from the GEMS host in order to
verify that the R6 is recognized to the network.

I
believe that Jeff Hintz is working with a version of BallotStation that gives
him access to Control Panel, yet when defining the IP address, it still does
not connect. He is using the brand of Ethernet card that was listed as a
supported model (Socket LP-E). What does he have to do, other than the
IP address definition, to allow it to function as it has in the
past.

Cards for R-6
Contemporary
versions of the BallotStation 4.x firmware do not support IP address
definition, as the utility that should activate when a new network card is
installed is immediately suppressed, and Control Panel cannot be accessed on
the R6. With the release of WinCE 3.0, IP address definition on the
BallotStation will be possible again. The only transmission means
currently supported is serial, which requires running a null modem cable
between the R6 and the PC and running RAS over the PC
port.
The AccuVote-TS
R6 I am using was originally configured with a BallotStation version that
allowed access to the Control Panel and thus the ability to define an IP
address, so that I can transmit over local area network. A unit
initially configured with a newer version of BallotStation, such as the one
you are probably using, does not allow access to the Control Panel cannot be
assigned an IP address, and therefore can only be used with a serial
card.

I have
received a LP-E ethernet card for the R-6. I have plugged it in, and
even tried giving an IP address, but I do not get a connection when I try
to download an election. The R-6 just sits there trying to get a
connection, then it times out. I need to get this working before I
go to Johnson County, KS tomorrow.
Thanks,
Jeff
Jeff,
The only ethernet card that has any run time here in McKinney is
the "Socket" model LP-E.
Install is fairly painless, be sure to run flush after you get it
talking.

Jeff &
Nel,
Johnson County,
KS wants to do downloading and uploading via a Network Card. Is
there only certain Network Cards that we can use, or can any PCMCIA
Network Card be used??? Also, can you tell me the settings and
installation for the Network Card.
Thanks,
